Interesting Case of Alleged Lunacy,
The New York papers contain the
details of the incarceration, in the
Bloomingdale Lunatic Asylum, on a
charge of lunacy, of Commodore
Richard W. Meade, Sr.,ofthe I nitetl
States Navy. The Commodore,
through his counsel and some personal
friends, denies that he is insane, and
legal means are being resorted to
to secure his restoration to freedom.
Captain Meade was arrested at the
instance, it is stated, of his wife and
children. His lawyers charge that
they were impelled to this course by
a desire to break his will, which disin
herits a portion of his family-.
One of the physicians certifying to
his insanity publishes the following
defence of his action ;
On the morning of the 13th of October
last, Meade was brought to the medical de
partment of the City Prison by Roundsman
Croker, of the First District Court Sound,
on a charge of insanity. He was accompa
nied by several naval gentlemen, one of
whom,’! believe, was his son. One of the
partv had a letter from Surgeon Bache, of
the t nited States Navy, in which was certi
fied tliat Dr. Baelie had known Commodore
Meade for a number of years, and that he
believed the said Meade to be insane, and
that he ought to be sent to the proper p ace
lor treatment. 1 thereuixm entered into
conversation with the Commodore, in order
to ascertain whether he was insane ■ r not.
lie immediately commenced a violent rant
ing and incoherent tirade against the mem
bers of his family, but particularly referred
to his brother, General Meade, hfc son, and
his daughter, the two former having dis
graced themselves by becoming Protestants,
and the latter by marrying a Protestant. lie
fell upon his knees, and began to pray with
great vehemence, invoking God to destroy
them for apostatizing from the true faitlw
During the whole of his stay in the City
Prison he was violent and vicious, at one
time praying, and then again cursing and
denouncing. I, therefore, concluded, from
liis general appearance, which was wild and
haggard, and from the nunbling and incon
sistent nature of his discourse, that he was
suffering from n disordered condition of his
reasoning faculties, and ought to be sent to
some institution for treatment; and accord
ingly Dr. Anderson and myself made the
necessary affidavit, which transferred him to
the care of Dr. D. Tildon Browne, the
learned physician-in-chics of the Blooming
dale Lunatic Asylum.
Per contra, the defence made affi.
davit to Captain M.’s absolute sanity,
and have applied for a writ of habeas
.corpus, which will be issued in a few
days.
As there is plenty of money in the
family to grease the lawyers, we must
expect bitter and, perhaps, prolonged
litigation.
Commodore Meade is a brother
of Major General Meade, commander
of this Military Department. He was
not in favor with the Navy Depart
ment during the war, and chafed
much because he was denied the op
portunity of defending the Stars and
Stripes in some encounter with the
Confederates.
The writer of this article has wit
nessed him in his tangents, and feels
constrained to say, if he Is not insane,
he is the most eccentric man in the
country.
The Admission oe the Georgia
Senators.—The presentation of the
credentials of Hon. Joshua Hill,
claiming a seat ns United States Sena
tor from Georgia, brings before the
Senate the whole question as to whether
Georgia has been reconstructed ac
cording to the requirements of the
several acts of Congress on that sub
ject, and whether, if she has been so
reconstructed, she has not since viola
teiLthc Fourteenth Article of the Con
stitution of the United States ? Our
position on these questions is too well
known to require repetition here. The
issue is uow before Congress, and all
the facts pro and con, are within the
reach of the members. All we ask is
that the decision may'lje in accordance
with the law and the facts.
Person:tl interest* should nut be per
mitted to control the action of the
Senate in the decision of Mr. Hill’s
claims, and the witbholding of Dr.
Millers looks vert much as if the
.Senate was exjiected to admit the
former because it is Joshua Hill,
without rcgaril to the principle. As
suredly the Semite will remember that
principles are everything awl men
nothing when their claims come in con
flict with principles. The interests of
a whole people should not lx: sacriticetl
to gratify the ambition of even Mr.
Joshua Hill.
A Define* of Coweta County Officials
Some time since wc published nn
affidavit, taken Ixivre the military au
thorities at Atlanta, in which Thomas
BrADLts related Uic fact ot the murder
oi liis brother in t'ouctn county, and
charged the officials of that county
with culpable neglect ami delay in
attempting to arrest the murderer.
Tin Newnan HorafJ publishes a de
fence of these .officials, which it re
quest* iim to transh-r to our column*.
A* we have no disposition in the
world to do injustice to any living
creature, we inw-rl so much oi the
H ralfs article as is material to the
issue, with the remark that, if the
facts arc as staled, the officials are
blameless. The Herald, after pub
lishing Beadle’s affidavit, says :
In llienliovc affidavit then is a little lhat
is true and much that is false. It is true
that Rich Beadles, colored, was killed at the
time and place stated, and we suppose Mr.
Kinchen Wellborn was the slayer. Il is not
true, however, that Mr. Pittiuaii bad any
thing to do with the killing, but, on the con
trary, be swears, and nolxxly doubts his
testimony, that he refused even Io hand the
gun to Wellborn. It is true, we believe,
that Wellborn’s plantation is located five
miles from Newnan. It is not true that the
killing was brought to the notice of the
civil authorities the same day of the “mur
der,'’ but, on the contrary, tho affidavit on
which the warrant was issued, was not sworn
to until the next day. It is not true the war
rant for thejan-e-t of Wellborn was placed
in the hands of Richard 51. Hackney, Sheriff,
on the 17th. but it was handed to him very
late, about night on the 18th. twenty-six or
twenty-eight hours after the killing. But if
it had been placed in his hands on the eve
ning of the 17th, inasmuch ns the “murder"
(we quote this word) was committed at three
o'clock, p. m., at the admitted distance of
five miles from Newnan, it would have been
night before Hackney could have arrived at
Wellborn's house, for the party who brought
the news and made the affidavit would have
consumed two hours in reaching Newnan,
finding the Justice of the. Peace and Sheriff,
and after the warrant was in Mr. Hackney's
hands, it would have required one and a half
hours for him to have prepared himself and
horse, and ridden five miles. The officer
could not have been at Wellborn’s before
half-past six o’clock, to which time from the
killing, three p. m., Wellliorn would have
had in which to make his escape.
In order to further clear Mr. Hackney of
any blame in this affair, it may be proper to
say that he has served as Sheriff of Coweta
county for seventeen years, and just two
weeks to a day prior to’ the killing of Rich
Beadles, was elected Sheriff by both parties,
receiving near 1,200 majority over his op
ponent. It is not presumable that Mr. H.
could have, from this circumstance alone,
desire to discharge his duties in a manner
prejudicial to the rights of the blacks. We
do not know it to be true, but it is more than
probable that the deceased voted for him, for
every political leader of the blacks and hun
dreds of others did. It is known by all who
have enquired concerning his conduct that
he did make a faithful, honest and prompt
effort to arrest Wellborn, but .Mr. W, could
not be found.
Batty H. Mitchell, Esq., the Notary Public
who issued the warrant, is uu apjxjintee of
Gov. Bullock. Mr. Mitchell, moreover is re
cognized as a good, true and reliable citizen,
and experienced officer, and could not have
had any agency in delaying the issuing of
the proper letml process. ‘
As to the delay in holding the Coroner’s
inquest, we have this to say; The inquest
was not held until Friday morning. Why it
was held at all we do not know, for it could
benefit no one,; and why held at such a late
day wc do not know. But there is one thing
we do know, and that is that tlic Coroner
was elected by negroes, without the assist
ance of not exceeding fifty white votes, and
is notoriously a Radical in politics. It seems
to us that any charge from a Radical source
against the action of the Coroner comes with
exceeding bad taste. At least, it is not fair
Io blame the Democratic party, the whites of
Coweta eounly for the faildre of a Radical
official to perfimn his duties. It is but right
and just, however, to say that wc do not
believe that Wingo, the Coroner, is blamablc
for the delay in this matter. We have no
doubt tliat he moved, officially, as soon as he
was informed that his services were needed
or required
The truth is, no official is to blame for
Wellborn’s escape. The circumstances sur
rounding him were such that promptness of
officials could not have prevented it. No
class of citizens or officers are blamablc for
Hie killing and the escape of Hie slayer. The
failure to arrest Wellborn does not prove
that the authorities are unwilling to discluirge
their duties in good faith to both races.
Surely the Reiwblkax does not expect
everv white citizen in Coweta county, after
a crime of any kind lias been committed
against a black man, to cease all business and
pursue the. criminal, even after knowledge
of the crime, much less liefore dioy are
aware it has been committed. They do not
act tads toward the injured of tlieir own
race, and surely an injured negro ought not
to expect more rights or sympathy thana
white man similarly situated’
Laziness Rebuked.
Wc have frequently referred to the
indolent disposition of many of the
young men of Georgia, and pointed
out to them the absolute necessity of
abandoning such a life. The exist
ence of this tetTiblc curse, laziness,
and the necessity of reform, is now
beinw ventilated bv the leading Press
of the State, and our wisest and best
citizens. The Constitutionalist is
publishing conspicuously a series ot
articles by a correspondent, which
should fall into tho bands of every
young man in Georgia. This writer
takes the orthodox view that any
man, or people, tailing to gain his or
their bread by the sweat of their face,
ax commanded by the Divine Law
git er, will inevitably, sooner or later,
suffer the penalty for a violation of
God's precepts.
AVc quote the following crushing
rebuke of laziness from his last letter:
In writing tlic present article, 1 set out with
the same idea that I advanced in the paper
before litis—that many Georgians, and par
baps others, arc seeking to cat their bread in
some other way than in the sweat of their
face. We wisli to find people who will
study chemistry, who arc industrious, tober,
frugal, intelligent—who will go on ottr f*rms
as laborers, and make money for us, while
we are lolling in tiie shade, too indolent to
even go out and see what is going on. Many
of us are too lazy to lock our eorn-crib door*.
If we live in town, and we fortunate enough
to have wood houses, we arc t<x» careless to
see that they arc fastened. AVe expect to
find servants who will do everything exactly
right, witiioul putting ourselves to the least
trouble. Good Heaven*! If intelligent, «xlu
rated laborers conic here—men win. under
stand the rotation of crops, the tillage ot
land, the various systems of manuring—in
short, if what wc sec so often spoken of in J
the newspaper' as “ skilled labor” should I
cnuic here, can we suppose it will sell itself
to us. when land is cheap as it is now The I

uiucli the same •* previous financial
report*. Tlic Wtahliigton corrrßpon
donee oi a New York paper contains
the following as among the contents
of flic report:
Ttie funding of the public debt and the
cmitrai-tion of tlic jmper circulation by the
redemption nf the l lifted State' noil's is
treated clalsmitely. tliough the Secretary
<>iqK>scs a forced resumption, or tlic naming

payments. Tli< tundiii” <>l tlie public debt,
as a step in that direction, may lie noted as
follows: I p io December 1,
of seven-thirty notes liave been funded into
six per cent, live twenty bonds; of this
amount there have been funded of the first
series *205.565,700: second series, *tklo,lßß,-
200; third series. 1107.873,450. This leaves
outstanding of this class of securities but
s2,:tofi,ls<>. The compound interest notes,
all of which became due Is-tween the 10th of
June, 1807, ami the 10th of October, 1808,
have not all been redeemed, but have been
exchanged for three per cent, certificates,
leaving but a few millions outstanding.
The Secretary estimates the expenditures
for tin: fiscal year ending June 30th 1870, to
be $250,000,000 in round numbers, though
the War Department, in lite event of an
Indian war, will call for several additional
millions. Twenty-five millions required for
bounties by this 'department for the present
fiscal year are not required for the next. The
report will further show that lietween
November Ist, 1801', and November Ist, 1868
thcpublic dcbt. less cash in the treasury, has
been reduced *35,625,102.82. These arc the
twelve months in which the comparison is
made. If the November increase were added
in this statement, of course the decrease would
be seven or eight millions less. Tlic receipts
show that the internal revenue will be about
*I20,(KX),000 for the present fiscal year, and
the estimates of revenue for the next fiscal
.year are about >*80,000,000 less than last year,
owing to the reduction of taxation. The re
port shows tlic interest on the public bebt to
be in round numbers *140,000,000 per annum,
or *10,000,000 more than the estimates for tlic
fiscal year.
A Glass House.—The Chronicle
cb Sentinel denounces Gov. Bullock
lor summoning the Electoral College
on the day designated by the Code of
Georgia. That paper intimates that
if a Democrat had been Governor, no
such mistake would have occurred.
Unfortunately for this theory, General
Gordon, their candidate for Governor
against Governor Bullock, is one of
the Electors for the State at Large,
and it clearly follows if he had been
better posted than Governor Bullock
he would have exposed the fact in
time. Nearly all of the Electors are
Democratic lawyers, and none of them
were wiser than the Governor. The
editor of the Chronicle claims to be a
lawyer, and every’ one knows he would
have proclaimed the error if he had
known more than any one else. Peo
